> Join us in the Lanier Grand Ballroom G & J on July 2, 2023 at 4:15PM or when
> the Resolutions Committee adjourns, whichever is later, for our 23rd Mock
> Trial.  As this is a fundraiser, admission is $5 per person.  Federation
> lawyers oppose each other to enact a case addressing the civil rights of
> blind people, and the audience serves as the jury. The subject matter is
> serious, but the courtroom portrayers are very entertaining.

> This year, for the first time ever, we will be making available for purchase
> for $20, a curated selection of previous NABL mock trials.  Scott Labarre
> chose them himself prior to his passing.  These recordings feature
> Federation lawyers, including Scott Labarre, Charlie Brown, and Peggy
> Elliott, and many others in a variety of roles.  These recordings will be
> available via download, or for those attending the NFB Convention in person
> who prefer, via flash drive.  Individuals can purchase the recordings on the
> Blind Lawyers website shortly, or they can visit Lisa Bonderson at the NABL
> registration table outside of our meeting room, or they can purchase them
> from me during General Sessions at the Maryland delegation.  Proceeds will
> go to the Scott C. Labarre Leadership and Justice Fund.
